The present Minnesota flag was designed in 1957, and has
the state seal on a blue field. The Lady Slipper, the state
flower, runs around the white circle around the seal which
features a landscape with a Native American riding past a
farmer cultivating his field. A scroll containing the state
motto, "Letiole du Nord" ("Star of the North"),
nineteen stars representing Minnesota as the nineteenth state,
and the year of its statehood, 1858, complete the state seal.

Annin state flags are made from 100% SolarMax nylon. This
material, developed especially for the flag industry, is
engineered to resist damage from the sun's UV rays.
